Remember like Rooster Teeth’s Red vs Blue?
Looking for something like that. Episodic use of a videogame for some light-hearted story driven cinema.
The only good modern example I can think of is Neebs Gaming’s Subnautica series, but that’s kind of an outlier in their channel since everything else they’ve done (that I’ve seen at least) is more of a “let’s play” type of video than the kind of cinematic roleplay they do for Subnautica.
Hard to screen for quality on channels I’m not familiar with, since 99% of YouTube’s gaming content is hot garbage.
Anywho, the combination of school and work is melting my brain… I don’t trust my time management skills to dive back into actual gaming, but the occaisional episode to get that little half-hour-mind-vacation would be a godsend.
Thanks, all!
Machinima wasn’t really a thing in the early 90s. Closest I can think of is Reboot but that started in 94 (what I’d call mid 90s…).
